How to Begin A Nature Walk

Nature Study Lesson, created for 4th Grade At Home Learning

For the next few weeks azaleas will put on a marvelous display of color ranging from solid white, light pink, and lavender to bright oranges, pinks, and purples… Take a walk around your yard (if you have some) or your neighborhood and see how many different colors of this flowering shrub you can find.

Choose your favorite.

What do you notice about the leaves’ color and edges?

Hymn of the Week

Hi students! I miss you all and hope you are doing well. Here is our hymn for the week: O Sacred Head, Now Wounded. When you listen during the week, I hope you will take a minute to reflect on the words and use them as a prayer. You can also sing along with the harmony if you want!

A Prayer for Peace in Our Limitations

O God of peace, who hast taught us that in returning and
rest we shall be saved, in quietness and confidence shall be
our strength: By the might of thy Spirit lift us, we pray thee,
to thy presence, where we may be still and know that thou
art God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Friday Chapel for At Home Learning

Every Friday at Ambleside, we hold a community Chapel service that we share with teachers, students, and parents. While we cannot gather for chapel in person, we wanted to offer our families some resources to join in spirit and share chapel at home. We invite you to use this video as an anchor for your own chapel service as a family today.

Narration During At Home Learning

Dear Ambleside Parents,

During these days of Ambleside At Home Learning, it is important to invite your children to tell back throughout their morning work to secure their attention and their understanding.

Dear Parents,

The greatest challenge for parents of multiple children during At Home Learning is managing all of their individual needs. What follows is an outline of how the work may be coordinated and accomplished with multiple children at once. Remember, more important than book-learning is maintaining an atmosphere of peace and joy in the home…
